Importing content into Bear has always been more than just copy and paste. With **Bear’s Web Clipper** , you can gather ideas, save articles, and keep research close at hand with a single click. Now it comes with a **major upgrade** that makes saving faster than ever, more private, and more reliable.

## What’s new

The **Web Clipper 2.0** has been completely rebuilt from the ground up, changing how it works under the hood to bring you an even better experience bringing the web into your notes. With the upgrade:

- **Faster and more private** : The Web Clipper 2.0 works directly on your device, no remote servers, no detours. Nothing leaves your device, and saving content happens in the blink of an eye.

- **More reliable** : Now you can capture content from password-protected pages and even local sites. That means your study guides, internal resources, and personal projects can be saved right alongside everything else, with fewer interruptions.

- **Smarter customization** : New options let you fine-tune clipping to your workflow. For example, enabling “Ask for tags” lets you assign a tag before saving, so your notes stay organized from the start.

- **Now on iOS and iPadOS** : Beyond Mac, the clipper is now available in Safari on iPhone and iPad too. You can save content directly into Bear with a single tap from the Safari address bar.

For the technically curious, we’ve detailed the under-the-hood changes [here](https://community.bear.app/t/web-clipper-2-0/17314).

I found a minor bug: the bolding is not working. When a text is bold, and after clipping it, it converts to markdown, you got no space between de \*\* and the next word, so the bold doesn’t work.

I think the issue here is the space before `Algo`. Can you please send me the URL of this page?

I’ve installed on my iPad running iOS26, but the extension isn’t triggering when I click on it in the browser bar. What could be the issue?

EDIT - I had to restart my iPad to get this to work. It seems to be working now.
